The School of Dance, Music and Theatre at Humboldt State University presents Ellipsis: A physical theatre performance exploring the negative space on Thursday, Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m. This original production devised by HSU students and directed by faculty member Dionna Ndlovu, is the only mainstage production from the Theatre Program this semester. Participant Jaese Lecuyer describes the play as being about “love, loss, personal triumph, transformation and how the interactions we have with family, friends and strangers inform us, but don’t have to define us.” Viewers can watch it free on YouTube.
